This project was all about creating newsworthy story. I had a hard time coming up with an idea, and it wasn't until the weekend before we were supposed to have all our interviews and B-roll done that I finally had an idea. I was originally going to use a previous interview I'd done with my mom about being a stay-at-home mom and comparing that to a working mom, but it wasn't working out very well. I checked out some equipment to hopefully find a story and get some shots, not actually knowing what I was going to do. Then Friday afternoon my mom mentioned that she was having some girls over to make gingerbread houses and take them to people the next morning. At first I was annoyed because I wanted to have a quiet house to try and get some basic shots, and then it hit me. Why don't I do a story about the gingerbread houses? So I did. I filmed the girls through their process of making the candy decorated houses and interviewed my mom and one of the girls participating. I think it turned out pretty good! I was super lucky that my mom had planned the activity the weekend I was planning to film this project. It was actually really fun to create. I enjoyed finding unique shots to use to show exactly what was going on throughout the activity and I'm glad I was able to go with the girls and film them giving one of their gingerbread houses away. Overall, I'd say this project was a success and I feel like I did pretty well on it.
